Technical Lead

The Restory is the world’s first repair and restoration platform dedicated to luxury fashion. We use our elite marketplace, our unique knowledge and our proprietary technology to bring easy and trusted aftercare services to consumers, brands and retailers worldwide. 

We are the official global aftercare partner for Farfetch, Manolo Blahnik and Nicholas Kirkwood.  We have embedded partnerships with Selfridges, Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Browns Fashion. 

Over the course of 50K repairs, we have cracked the complexity of aftercare and are now making our technology and infrastructure available as a set of powerful enterprise solutions so that the world’s largest fashion brands can easily adopt circular fashion for themselves. 

We are looking for someone based in the UK and unfortunately cannot sponsor visa at this point of time.
